Re: OT - The power and fear of photographs - or how a 9y.o. kid, made a difference

Up until 6th grade, the schools I attended were too small to supply a 
hot lunch, thought they supplied milk in waxed cartons, the cost seems 
ridiculously inexpensive compared to today's inflated prices, you could 
bring your own or walk home and eat lunch there, if you could get back 
to school in time for the afternoon session.  What I find amazing is 
that we no longer trust kids to be in the least responsible.  Jr. High 
was big enough to have a cafeteria, and yes, the meal was mystery meat, 
(no matter what they called it), two vegetables and yes fish sticks, on 
Friday.

There's like a hundred javascripts on that page & I can't figure which 
one of them will let me see the comments.


I did find a link to the kid's blog and it seemed like all the 
comments there were positive.


A lot has changed since I ate school lunches. Our lunches were always 
a meat, 2 vegetables & some kind of desert ... except on Friday when 
it was always fish-sticks. Half pint of milk in a waxed cardboard 
carton to drink. Price was $0.25. Meals were prepared in the school 
cafeteria kitchen.


Her school lunch looks like the food I got at the VA hospital. It's 
cooked somewhere up in Virginia (near Arlington I think) and trucked 
down to Durham.

Funny... I read the "I contacted Argyll and Bute Council" as "Brute
Council" there for just a moment.

Igor, you may have fallen into the sar-chasm on that one.
